Musk: Eat our own poop!

πŸ“† 11th of January 2025

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/09/elon-musk-data-ai-training-artificial-intelligence

Musk:

The cumulative sum of human knowledge has been exhausted in AI training. That happened basically last year.

The only way to then supplement that is with synthetic data where … it will sort of write an essay or come up with a thesis and then will grade itself and … go through this process of self-learning.

Also Musk:

The cumulative sum of sustenance has been exhausted in binge eating. That happened basically today.

The only way to then supplement that is with human faeces where … it will sort of resemble chocolate ice cream or be the next McDonald’s and then will digest itself and … go through this process of self-nourishment.
